Charlemos is a new initiative that creates space for political scientists and other academics to discuss the critical social and political challenges facing Latin America today--including democratic backsliding, economic inequality, racial injustice, gender inequities, and a host of other issues – we are inaugurating a new virtual series.

The first lecture in the Charlemos Series will be hosted by Jennifer Cyr. Javier Corrales will present his paper, "Democratic backsliding through electoral irregularities: The case of Venezuela," (European Review of Latin American and Caribbean Studies, 2020) and Fabrice Lehoucq will present his paper (forthcoming in Journal of Democracy), "Bolivia's Citizen Revolt."

Together with our friends at the Pitt Global Hub, we are excited to bring students, faculty and staff a virtual discussion every Wednesday in July that will give participants an opportunity to think about the most recent wave of brutal police violence in the U.S. through a global lens.

The goal is to have participants be able to explain how racialized and militarized policing in the USA shape and are shaped by historical and contemporary global connections and processes. Participants will do up to an hour of reading, viewing, or listening in advance of each conversation; there will be no structured presentations.
